Steward's Report
Swamp Donkey - Late scratching at 6.06 pm due to weight variation (GAR 39). A 10 day stand down period was imposed. Trainer Mr K Ward was fined $100. Mr Ward was queried in relation to the nomination and subsequent scratching of Swamp Donkey in this event. Mr Ward explained that he had targeted this event due to the greyhound running home strongly over shorter distances. Mr Ward stated that Swamp Donkey raced over 350m last start in an attempt to win a weaker maiden. In his opinion this would then allow more racing opportunities for the greyhound in longer restricted win races. When questioned regarding Swamp Donkey being up 1.4kgs from its last start on 25 September 2020 Mr Ward could only offer that the greyhound may have inadvertently been fed its regular non race day feed, equating to around 1kg, Mr Ward added that he was planning on having the greyhound about half a kilo up from last start. Mr Ward's comments were noted.
Bold Beauty - Late scratching at 6.29pm on the advice of the On-Track Veterinarian (GAR 37) due to a left hindleg achilles tendon injury. A 10 day stand down period was imposed. Representative Mr. J. Borg was queried in relation to the nomination and subsequent scratching of Bold Beauty in this event. Mr Borg explained that the greyhound injured itself when being loaded into the van. Mr Borg added that the greyhound has had previous injuries to the achilles and calf. When questioned regarding Bold Beauty racing over 660m on debut Mr Borg explained that the greyhound has had 5 trials over the 500m distance and in his opinion would not be suited over shorter distances. Connections opted to nominate for this event due to the nominations being extended. The inquiry has been adjourned to evaluate Mr Borg's statements and to assess betting transactions in the event. A pre-race sample was taken from Cool And Deadly a greyhound trained by Mr. J. Borg.
Ride Along – New declared weight of 33.2kg last raced at 34.5kg.
Ride Along was quick to begin.
Aston Kipchoge and Sweet Mamma Mia collided on the first turn. Ride Along tired in the home straight.
Cool And Deadly underwent a post-race veterinary examination and was found to have a left wrist injury. A 10 day stand down period was imposed. Stewards spoke to trainer Mr J. Borg regarding the performance of the greyhound in the event. After viewing the official replays, acting on their own observations, taking evidence from Mr Borg and considering the injury found Stewards took no action on this occasion.
